Lyrics
Jonee went to the pawnshop
Bought himself a guitar
Now he’s gonna go far
You gotta love ‘em and leave ‘em
Sometimes you deceive ‘em
You made her cry
Jonee you’re bad
You’re gonna make her sad
Jonee jumped in his datsun
Drove out on the expressway
Went head-on into a semi
His guitar is all that’s left now
He made her cry
Now she calls his name
Jonee you’re to blame
Note
